  18. #80 Your Student Aren't Trying To Frustrate You...It's Just Brain Science

    If we really understood how much trouble the brain’s working memory causes for our students, and by extension, for us, we’d teach differently. Not because we’re doing it wrong, but because we’re finally teaching with the brain in mind.

  21. #77 The Truth About Brain Fatigue

    Our brains build schemas, mental shortcuts that organize new information by tying it to what we already know. This is the heart of how learning sticks. When we work with the brain instead of pushing against it, we can learn with more ease, presence, and confidence.

  22. #76 The Power of Facing What Hurts: Emotional Freedom Through EFT

  24. #74 EFT is my Ph.D

    Turns out, cancer wasn’t just a wake-up call. It was a blaring, break-the-glass-in-case-of-emergency alarm with a splash of ice water. It was a slap in the face. And as I healed; slowly, one walk, one breath, one moment at a time, I began enrolling in a different kind of school. One with no...
